About Tynefield Livery and Stud

Tynefield stud is a friendly, happy yard nestled in the South Downs national park. We have a livery yard and stud so plenty of hands on experience of handling mares, foals and youngstock. There is the opportunity to help with breaking in the young horses too.

Things to consider

We are based in a rural location that is not serviced by public transport so please consider how you will get to and from work before applying. There is no accommodation available. This role will also require working in all weather conditions, so any applicant must be willing and able to do this.
